MÜHLE TRADITIONAL R89 Double Edge Safety Razor
$46

I find it more challenging to keep well-groomed when I'm on the move, but here are some of the things that I carry that help a lot. For starters, my facial hair grows ridiculously quickly. Yes, even though I'm Asian, it just grows really quickly in my face. I literally need to shave every day, and this kind of gets tricky when I travel. I found the best combination for me is a classic wet shave with this German-made double-edge razor from Mühle, paired up with Astra's Platinum double-edged razors. It’s not cheap, but it’s really portable and really high quality too, and I don’t need to worry about cords or batteries.

In 2021, MÜHLE launched the first safety razor with the needs of all users in mind, regardless of gender. This journey began in 1945. Otto Johannes Müller founds the business having returned from the war. He makes the first shaving brushes and designs the MÜHLE signet. Hans-Jürgen Müller takes over the company, which has grown to 40 employees. MÜHLE is exporting its products to 36 countries. Under pressure from the German Democratic Republic, Hans-Jürgen Müller sells the company and MÜHLE becomes a state-owned enterprise. Now rebranded, the business manufactures brushes only for the state. Hans-Jürgen Müller becomes a self-employed brush maker. A new Europe evolves, Hans-Jürgen Müller regains the family business and trades as Hans-Jürgen Müller KG, the MÜHLE signet remains. MÜHLE struggles to survive after reunification. However, little by little, the company wins new customers and rehires former employees. Dawn of a new Millenia. The offering is expanded to a full range of wet shaving goods. The MÜHLE brand comes to the fore.
• THE HANDLE: We design all of our products to be long-lasting, and this handle is no exception. The modern handle options include classic chrome, rose-gold metal, faux tortoiseshell, and black chrome.

• CLOSED COMB RAZOR: Grooming has never felt more nostalgic. This classic safety razor head has a closed tooth comb design that, paired with a gap behind the foam edge, prevents build-up. The blade angle is a special design for the closest shave.

• RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE: For the cleanest shave, it is always recommended to keep the skin pulled taut and the blade should be drawn across the skin without applying any pressure at all. Shaving with the grain will have the best results.
